Agreed - confidence in a man is so sessy. But only when not shaken &amp; stirred with selfish arrogance. 2nd dude must&#39;ve been real charming not to get you fired. lolJarahttp://www.randomrhymereason.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7886323613346427250.post-54684183386451228572010-09-15T19:45:27.340-05:002010-09-15T19:45:27.340-05:00God bless our brothers.

Funny enough, my SO (much like my father) is extremely quiet. He literally talks to say what he has to say and nothing more (at least in public :))... but he only has to give me this knowing look of &quot;Uh Uh babe, this is not worth you getting worked up over&quot; and I will quiet down really quick.<br /><br />It&#39;s pretty amazing actually, especially to people who have known me for ages... They can&#39;t quite believe that this &quot;unassuming&quot; man can make me chill quick... and all without even saying a thing or raising his voice. I guess I am sensitive to quiet authority and confidence that truly LEADS.<br /><br />Loved the tales... and yes Khari and LA Dude are what&#39;s hot in the streets!LovelyParadoxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7886323613346427250.post-24098123282548260622010-09-15T19:45:24.430-05:002010-09-15T19:45:24.430-05:00I know this is corny but I have to say it...

I was shocked. I met him and was even more shocked because he seemed so QUIET. I couldn&#39;t imagine him holding his own with her in a fight.<br /><br />I learned we shouldn&#39;t assume when we were at dinner one night with a bunch of people. She was getting a little out of pocket (as she has a tendency to do) and he gave her one look (that, to the naked eye, was harmless) said a few words in her ear and she calmed down. She never told me what he said, but it didn&#39;t matter. He did in 5 seconds what no guy before could do in hours. She wasn&#39;t mad, she just took it down a few notches and 95% of the table was none the wiser.<br /><br />He raised his voice never, but he could ALWAYS chill her out with little effort. It was amazing.ASmithhttp://blackdiamond2008.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7886323613346427250.post-66990190224000074102010-09-15T19:45:23.466-05:002010-09-15T19:45:23.466-05:00Hold up - don&#39;t let one bom-chicka bougietale scotch up your relationship! As the married folks can surely attest, a relationship progresses beyond constant heat and sparks into warmth and comfort with flames every now again.

And I wonder if the sizzle isn&#39;t what I&#39;m missing in my current relationship. It&#39;s a very comfy, sit on the couch relationship rather than a &quot;do me in the parking lot&quot; relationship. Not that there&#39;s anything wrong with the first, I&#39;d just prefer a little more of the second.Jasmine Girlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7886323613346427250.post-63017668865823892462010-09-15T19:45:21.564-05:002010-09-15T19:45:21.564-05:00According to (me) our President Theodore Roosevelt: Speaking softly and carrying a big stick helps. ;-)Jarahttp://www.randomrhymereason.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7886323613346427250.post-62451769558128001492010-09-15T19:45:21.207-05:002010-09-15T19:45:21.207-05:00I would draw the line somewhere between knowing that you have something valuable to offer and assuming that everyone wants what you have to offer.Jarahttp://www.randomrhymereason.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7886323613346427250.post-79818267626422900332010-09-15T19:45:20.835-05:002010-09-15T19:45:20.835-05:00Great question!
